Well, heck! You got an OEM bumper just hanging off that blue beastie too. How much easier can it be?

****** rider,

Bolted up the bumper off the blue beastie on the pickup. I like it way better than the JK bumper, looks like I'll be keeping this one for a while.

Don't mind the mix matched body panels, I'm waiting on paint to arrive so I can spray it all a matching color.

Some fab work and you can make a bumper for a jk work. And, make it work with a 12,000 lbs winch.

Like Tomm says with some work anything can be made to fit and function the way it was intended to.

Want an honest answer ?
With some work you can mount one of course, anything can be thrown at the front, enough welding and steel it will work.
BUT will it look good and be as strong as an ARB, never
Have seen a bunch that tried to mount TJ bumpers but have not seen one that I would proudly say I owned due to looks
Here some pics of a rear bumper install. Took 20 inches of 2x4 tube steel and welded to the meat of the structure just behind the rear spring mount. Cut through inside of cab to get to the top to weld top inside corner. Did some what of the same thing for front. These bumpers are stronger than any ARB. Plan to make some custom fender flares out of some 18 gauge that ties in bumper to body
Work in progress.
